They've got Land Rover alignment equipment and a Land Rover trained technician.
Even if you cann't get over, they may be able to recommend someone in Manchester.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Ron,
Called in there today and found the guy most helpful and knowledgeable.
He saw straight away the problem im having with my back wheels. Unforunatly i had my oversize off road wheels and tyres on there and he suggested i should put the correct size on so the alignment could be done properly.
He said he can also compensate the camber for the weight i carry in the back .
Top reccomendation so far ..i will update when i go back up , hopefully next week
Oh and excellent price aswell G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Good to hear Wiggs, will be interested in how it all pans out.
As I've never used them and it would be especially good to hear your recommendations on other D3 services he can competently provide.

Late update
forgot to update
Had mine done a couple of weeks back now .
Put it on the machine and was quite shocked to see how far out it was . Main issuse was the rear camber , causing my 3 month old new tyres , to be compleatly scrubbed off on the inside edge of both rears .
You could actually see the wheels sat at an angle without the machine.
Job took a bit longer than normal due to having to remove the wheels to free up the bolts. (took about 2 1/2 hours )
Normal price was £50 plus vat , but i got charged £75 plus vat due to the extra time involved . Still very happy with it , and the tech ( Steve ) was very helpfull and knowledgable
Heres some pics of the readouts ...these were sent to me today from Ent as he was up there having his done ( car pulling to one side issue ) ...im sure he will post his views on the company and there equiptment .
Front alignment
Rear alignment
Thanks Ron for the reccomendation ...i would gladly pass it on to any one who wants there 4 x 4 alignment setting up properly G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Why would you need to do that when the air suspension will compensate and keep it the same no matter what load?“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
